How do you know 99.9% developers don't want to provide 'phone support?
Have you asked every single developer on the market?

Who in their right mind would think of providing phone tech support for a

by developers to offer users support.
Can you suggest a method for Google to use to distinguish between those
people who checked the application profile and entered a number they
